In the piece of RFC you're quoting the key word is unicast.  I believe 
it is quite normal behavior for relay agents to leave unicast packets 
between the client and server unmodified. However, I think that you are 
getting the DHCPDISCOVER both as the original broadcast from the client 
and as a unicast from the relay agent.  I don't believe that's normal.  
Or maybe it is normal for other products, but at least the relay agents 
I use here which are Motorola wireless APs are not behaving that way.
